This week is when we begin some focus group testing, when girls (and guys) come in to test some early puzzles and difficulty levels. This is important information for our designer and programmers. Once we know a puzzle is too hard, or if a common issue arises, we will then identify the problem based on […]

I’m guilty. There is a half-eaten Koko Kringle bar on my desk. I had very carefully folded up the foil (which is very fragile by the way) and slipped the bar back into the colorful wrapper for trophy reasons. It is soooo tempting! It’s like the bright red color beckons to me from the corner […]
Hey all! After a year of writing to all of you, I thought it was high time for an Amateur Sleuth makeover…if you haven’t noticed already. 😉 What’dya think? I might let it simmer for a little bit until I find something that needs tweaking, so any suggestions or ideas would be awesome! After all, […]
A while ago I went spying on (with permission) some artist’s work for Alibi in Ashes. One particularly large project was the map of River Heights. Our artist put a great deal of time and care into this world, carefully making every building, tree and driveway look nice. She let me snap a picture of […]
I’m totally psyched right now! Apparently Sonny wuz here and took over my desk. I know this because 1. He hacked into my computer and wrote my daily post yesterday, 2. I found one of my empty journals open on my desk…which is no longer empty. (I’ll have to show you sometime what he drew […]
“It’s a semaphore code, when you use flags to signal letters,” replied Nancy. “Although I’m not sure what to make of the answer…” George offered to take a look at Nancy’s decoding. “Bavarian Rosslyn?” she questioned. “Sounds like a funny character you missed seeing on your last trip, Nancy!” giggled Bess. “There could be several […]

I wanted to practice my computer-hacking skills and leave a huge hint about finally sharing Koko Kringle bars with […]
I recently realized that last week a year ago I began writing to you all. I’m excited about this. In honor of the Little Jackalope’s being here for so long (and yes, I’m temporarily referring to myself in third-person) I plan on updating the look of the Amateur Sleuth blog. After all, it could use […]
